Explores why forensic psychiatry services are not serving the multi-ethnic societies of Britain and the United States as they should. Discusses the concepts, theories and ideologies upon which forensic psychiatry is founded and explains why current problems are in part the result of a historic linking of race, schizophrenia and criminality in the minds of Western Europeans. Presents a survey of current clinical research into issues of race and forensic psychiatry and argues that the apparent contradictions in research findings and inquiry reports impact negatively on clinical practice. Also takes a detailed look at recent social policy on mental health, race and criminal justice and the way in which this influences and is influenced by public attitudes and pressures.

According to the National Service Framework for mental health published by the Department of Health in 1999 black and minority ethnic communities have little confidence in mental health services. This book examines how and why this situation has come about, and makes specific practical, often surprising, suggestions for changing the status quo. The author reflects on the current situation in light of his own personal experience, academic research and anecdotal reports. He weaves together themes of importance for the future of psychiatry and mental health services in a multi-cultural setting, exploring: the nature of racism and its permeation into mental health services; the inside story of the struggle against racism in statutory and voluntary sectors of the mental health system; the history of psychiatry; and the role of spirituality, holistic thinking, psychotherapy and Asian traditions of medicine.
